York Area Regional Police say Douglas Newman, of New Oxford, is in custody after he fled officers and rammed a police cruiser late Sunday night in York Township. The police officer whose car was rammed sustained minor injuries.

Police spotted the suspect's pickup truck at the Royal Farms store on S. Queen St. Officers wanted to talk to Newman because he had been identified as a suspect in a domestic incident in Dallastown earlier in the day.

When officers approached, a female passenger in the truck, later identified as Newman's girlfriend, ran to police. Newman then fled, according to police.

"The officers pursued him in their vehicle, and then he rammed the police car, backed up, the officer got out, and then he charged the officer in his vehicle. The officer fired his weapon at the suspect in his vehicle," said Lt. Tobin Zech.

Police said the officer fired five shots. Newman was not hit and continued to flee, according to investigators.

Newman then crashed his truck into a the Peaceful Pet Passage funeral home in the nearby Arlington Plaza where he was taken into custody after a brief struggle. Police said they had to use a taser on Newman.

Newman was not hurt. One officer is being treated for minor injuries.

News 8 spoke to Rob Lauver, owner of Peaceful Pet Passage, who was surveying the damage at his business on Monday morning.

"I can't imagine he was going less than 50 or 60 miles an hour, if not more. To go through a cinder block wall, and brick and destroy two walls inside before he stopped and pushed the cooler all the way to the back -- out through door, in the back of the building," Lauver said.

Newman faces charges of aggravated assault and resisting arrest.

His bail is set at $250,000.
